Whether you’re enclosing livestock, marking property lines, or quickly setting up crowd control barriers, the 4‑foot step‑in fence post from Zareba™ delivers unmatched strength and ease. Each post stands 39″ above ground and is molded from reinforced polypropylene around a sturdy metal core.

This 50‑pack ensures your fencing project covers large perimeters without compromise.

Technical Specifications

People Also Ask

How deep do I step this fence post in the ground?

Insert the flange at ground level, then drive the metal spike below the flange about 6–8″ deep. The total buried depth is roughly 9″ for optimal stability.

Can these hold an electric fence line?

Yes. The integrated clips maintain polywire or polytape up to 2″ wide, and the anti‑rotation spike keeps tensioned lines from pulling the post loose.

Are they suitable for rocky soil?

These posts work best in loamy or sandy soils. For rocky or clay soils, pre‑drill small pilot holes or use a short‑handled post driver to ease installation.

Applications & Use Cases

Livestock & Animal Control

Quickly pen in goats, sheep, or poultry with temporary electric or visual barriers. Posts detach and store compactly between uses.

Garden & Crop Protection

Safeguard vegetable beds or young trees from wildlife. Adjust fence height by choosing upper clips for taller netting or wire.

Construction & Crowd Management

Mark off hazard zones, parking areas, or event perimeters. Use brightly colored tape for high visibility.

Decorative & Holiday Displays

Drape string lights, banners, or seasonal décor. Removable stake design keeps lawn damage to a minimum.

Installation Tips

• Place posts 10–15 feet apart for standard livestock electrified lines. Closer spacing for lighter fencing or display cord.
• Ensure the ground is moderately moist for easier stepping in—lightly water dry soil first.
• Use a temporary post driver or hammer on the anti‑rotation spike for stubborn soil.
• After fence setup, test line tension and adjust spikes to prevent sagging.
